Anna Draicchio has created some lovely projects showing the Tim Holtz® Heartfelt die. Take a look at the website. I love this die too and here you can see some of my projects I made with it: All about hearts.

There is a new battle of two Sizzix Bloggers, this time between Clare from the UK and Kitty from the Netherlands where they each created projects with the Sizzix® Bigz™ Die – Owl #2 from the essentials range.

And you can vote for your favourites on our posts on facebook and twitter.

Art Journaling with Sizzix...? Is that possible? A big YES from me. ;-)
Sometimes I'm tired of making nice cards and layouts and on those days I try to let it go. I take one of my Art Journals and just create something. It must not be beautiful and useful. It must be meaningful only for me.

The Girlie Grunge Art Medium is a gel and decoupage medium you can use to adhere collages, to mix it with pigment powders and also to make some phototransfers. This is a really versatile art medium you don't want to miss.

I love to use it for my collages in my Midori Art Journal. Here you can see some pages on which I used the Girlie Grunge Art Medium.

I just used it with a brush by applying a thin coat onto my paper and laying down the paper scraps on it. I also used it to fixing the sketches with pastels and charcoal pencils. It gives a light shiny varnish and protect the pages and drawings.

This year I wanted create not only a card for Mother's Day, but a album or a notebook. I used a Chipboard Album with deviders and papers from Wycinanka and decorated it.

Here is my little tutorial for you.

1 - I used a piece of watercolor paper and stamped with black acrylic paint and a stamp on it to create my background. I also splashed a bit with black paint.
2 - Then I prepared my motive, a butterfly. This is a Sizzix die with three pieces you can put together and I adhered them with a little 3D Foam Square (from the 3D Foam Squares Mix - white) under the corpuscles and with the E-Z Dots® Permanent - Refillable to put together the wings.
3 - Then I added a sticker with a bow in the middle.
4 - I cuted my paper and cuted the edges with a Crop a Dile.
5 - Then I adhered the butterfly onto the background.
6 - I prepared the album with a black background by using black acrylic paint and adhered the little card with the E-Z Dots® Permanent - Refillable.
And that's it.

To all mothers a great Mother's Day, enjoy the special attention and love!
